If your goal is to experience the full geographical breadth of Egypt's diving highlights in a single voyage, the 39-metre Titan liveaboard is engineered for the task. Launched in 2009, this very large wooden-hulled motor yacht operates wide-ranging liveaboard tours for up to 30 guests. Its sheer scale provides the stability and necessary infrastructure to comfortably transit between the Northern Wrecks and the Deep South, offering unparalleled itinerary diversity.
The extensive itineraries are a key highlight of the Titan. The boat is one of the few capable of scheduling trips that cover the entire Egyptian Red Sea-from the wrecks of the North (including Thistlegorm, Abu Nuhas, and Rosalie Moeller) and the Sinai Peninsula sites (Ras Mohamed and Straits of Tiran), down to the marine parks (Brothers and Daedalus) and the remote southern reefs (St John's and Fury Shoals).
The Titan liveaboard yacht is managed by Dune, an international operator with an established presence in 4 countries, providing strong confidence in the operational and safety standards of the Titan. The dive team is a combination of experienced European and Egyptian guides. Their expertise in regional conditions and site topography ensures an excellent diving schedule. They focus on maintaining a safe and enjoyable atmosphere, readily sharing their knowledge, and adapting site selection to the group's experience level and wishes.
Accommodation is spread across the upper and lower decks. All cabins are large, bright, and feature a private bathroom. The Titan applies a run-of-the-house cabin assignment, though guests may choose to pay a small fee to pre-select their preferred cabin.
Social and dining spaces are spacious and climate-controlled. Buffet-style meals are served in the air-conditioned dining area. Guests can relax in the lounge to watch a film or read. Outdoor relaxation is well catered for by a shaded open-air upper deck at the stern, perfect for drinks and conversation, and a top sun deck furnished with loungers and seating.
Dive logistics are supported by two motorised dinghies, each capable of transferring eight divers to the sites. The dive platform ensures easy water exit with 2 fitted ladders. Importantly, enriched air nitrox is provided free of charge by a membrane system. A final unique offering is the opportunity to enjoy a city tour or quadbike excursion on the final afternoon before disembarkation. The comprehensive access and professional setup of the Titan liveaboard make it a premier choice for serious Red Sea exploration.

Aboard the Titan liveaboard, your Red Sea dive safari transforms into a personalised, high-end experience, where exceptional diving is seamlessly complemented by custom-tailored service and exquisite dining. The schedule and the menu are specifically designed for divers, ensuring you maintain optimal energy for the 16 to 18 dives typically completed over an 7-night trip. The daily dive routine is structured to maximise your time in the water, usually featuring 2 to 3 day dives plus a sunset or night dive. The entire rhythm of the day is managed by the crew to balance safety and comfort with the consistent need for rest and refuelling.
The dining on the Titan goes far beyond standard liveaboard fare; it is a culinary commitment focused entirely on the individual. Simply inform the crew in advance about any special diets or allergies, and the onboard chefs will create a dining experience tailored exclusively for you. For those living a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, you can expect a delightful array of plant-based creations, rich in flavour and nutritional goodness. Similarly, gluten-free options are prepared with meticulous attention, ensuring a perfect fusion of taste and dietary consideration.
This commitment to indulgence extends to the beverage service, a true highlight of the Titan liveaboard. You are encouraged to request your favourite drinks, from chilled bottles of champagne for celebratory moments to tropical cocktails crafted by the skilled onboard mixologists. Beer enthusiasts can explore a selection of craft beers chosen to complement the unique backdrop of the sea. Imagine unwinding after a day of diving with a glass of exquisite wine as the sun sets, a moment of personalised luxury that elevates the entire experience.
